<div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="og:image rdfs:seeAlso" resource="http://clashmusic.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_feature/public/field/image/unnamed_380.jpg?itok=s79x3H_n"><a href="/live/live-report-citadel-festival-2017"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://clashmusic.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_feature/public/field/image/unnamed_380.jpg?itok=s79x3H_n" width="628" height="418" alt="Foals" title="Foals" /></a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-article-subtitle field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">A super one-dayer in Victoria Park, London...</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Rising from the ashes of Friday and Saturday’s Lovebox Festival, Sunday saw Victoria Park become home to <strong>Citadel</strong>. Perhaps with a different ilk of people in attendance, one can presume, on first impressions – and reaffirmed throughout the day – the event manages to capture the harmonious atmosphere possessed by the best festivals seamlessly.</p>
<p>Looking, and more importantly, sounding the part with a tectonic light show complementing the anthemic nature of their back catalogue, the main attraction for many seemed to be<strong> Foals</strong>. The Oxford quintet step up to the plate by blazing through an atmospheric set which sees the group shake off their infantile namesake and evolve into sonic stallions at the forefront of 2017 festival headliners.</p>
<p>The career spanning performance sees all of the usual suspects, such as ‘My Number’ and ‘What Went Down’ make an appearance in the set list, but it’s tracks like ‘Electric Bloom’ and ‘Red Socks Pugie’ that ooze so much more passion and vigour than the ‘Antidotes’ studio versions which electrifyingly cements the band’s worth as headliners. It’s the climax of a truly eclectic day which sees Bonobo mesmerise Victoria Park prior to Foals. As Simon Green’s intricate electronic productions echo around the site it’s easy to find yourself getting lost in the elaborate arrangement of ‘Cirrus’ or the pulsing ‘Know You’ drum beat.</p>
<p><strong>Wild Beasts</strong> also dominate Citadel’s main stage with their rendition of ‘All The King’s Men’ still sounding refreshing all these years on. Magical Maggie Rogers takes her main stage gig in her stride too. With her stage presence as enchanting as ever she demonstrates how to command the attention of thousands with just one beautiful voice. A production whizz too, there appears to be no end to Maggie’s talents as she endears the crowd further chatting in between songs and jumping down to dance with the front row during ‘On + Off’.</p>
<p>Bellowing out of the Jägerhaus is the unmistakeable vocal of <strong>Willie J Healey</strong>. Gearing up to release his debut album ‘People and Their Dogs’, the singer performs the title track showcasing the retro lilt in his voice and slacker-esque guitars that were made to soundtrack hazy summer days spent lounging around in fields like this.</p>
<p>Taking to Clash’s very own stage, The Kasbah, <strong>Jake Isaac</strong> and his band radiate blissful folk with a soulful touch courtesy of Jake’s vocal. Also throughout the day Leeds’ <strong>Vessels</strong> display another achingly captivating Citadel performance that rushes with an abundance of sonic elements to take in.</p>
<p>Joining the plethora of Communion signings taking to the label’s very own stage, London trio Banfi settle into a mid-afternoon slot perfectly. ‘Happy As You Go’ breezes around the tent while ‘Rosedale House’ surges as they showcase their heavier sensibilities. Later in the day <strong>Twin Peaks</strong> make the transatlantic journey from Chicago to play a riotous and ramshackle show that transcends the rock, grunge and slacker genres. ‘Wanted You’ wallows like a moody teenager and juxtaposes itself next to the deliciously distorted and upbeat ‘Strawberry Smoothie’ at the end of their set.</p>
<p>Judging from the eclectic line-up, Citadel’s organisers have put the most important festival component first, the music. A selection of well thought out and high quality band choices leaves the welcoming atmosphere to fall into place itself as the event stakes it’s claim to be one of the best summer festivals the capital has to offer. Until next year, Citadel…</p>

<p>New album 'Migration' is out now, and it's a wonderful, lucid, complex return from the English producer.</p>
<p>'Bambro Koyo Ganda' utilises vocals from Moroccan by-way-of New York City band Innov Gnawa, pitting these elements against some lush house-fuelled production.</p>
<p>Stylewar has pieced together a stunning clip for the song, featuring scenes from around the world that unfold in conjunction with the song.</p>

His sixth studio album ‘Migration’ went to Number 5 on the UK charts in January, yet more vidence that Bonobo is now a true cross-over artist. These two dates at Brixton 02 Academy sold out quickly and the young audience crammed into the majestic, neo-classical surroundings were buzzing for an evening of chilled out, melodic vibes.</p>
<p>His entrance is unassuming as he creeps onto the stage with the rest of his live band, which features a horns and strings section. It’s comforting knowing that the man also known as Simon Green is willing to just let his music do the talking. But with no discernable leader to capture the audience’s attention it means a heavy reliance on the quality of the visuals. And my lord are they glorious.</p>
<p>Ever since his public consciousness breaking fourth album, ‘Black Sands’, the grand landscape visuals have been integral to Bonobo’s appeal. Photographer Neil Krug produced the artwork on his most recent album. His otherworldly photo sets, which use a drone flying over the reddened Majove desert in California, paint Bonobo’s music with a martian glow.</p>
<p>The effect is especially effective on the lilting ‘Break Apart’ whch is followed by the equally lovely ‘Towers’ with vocalist Szjerdene Mulcare delicately mixed in with the rain forest like background.</p>
<p>Trekking back to your mates after a mid-gig pint to the stirring sounds of ‘Bambro Koyo Ganda’ is a pretty epic experience but some songs don’t translate as well to the live arena. The slow builds of new tracks ‘Ontario’ and ‘Figures’ fail to produce the same arresting results that they do on record extenuating by having to lead into the best track on the new album, ‘Kerala’.</p>
<p>For his new centrepiece, Bonobo sends the string section and horns away from the stage for the full on Bonobo club experience. He also does away with the visuals and the whole place bounces with the energetic live sound. It shows that when he goes all out it can make for an electrifying live prospect but unfortunately the wandering moments of the full show fail to carry the same excitement. Without the visuals on the slower tracks the show really wouldn’t work.</p>
<p>Luckily, there are enough ‘Kerala’ moments for anyone with even a passing interest in the DJ extraordinaire to be stunned into transcendental submission.</p>

From the artwork to track titles to the overall sound, it’s undoubtedly Simon Green through and through (not to mention a few well-known features thrown in for good measure). And, after a four-year wait — it follows 2013’s ‘The North Borders’ — that’s all we’d ask for.</p>
<p>Green has always made textural, sample-based music, and ‘Migration’ is no exception (it even features the sound of a Hong Kong airport elevator). The album opens with a title track instrumental before we’re eased into proceedings via ‘Break Apart’, featuring Rhye’s heavenly vocals and somewhat pessimistic lyrics. This might have been best placed at the end of the album as, like a chunk of the LP, this track could reduce a menstruating woman to tears quicker than an RSPCA advert. It’s not all doom and gloom, however, as ’Outlier’ gently protrudes its way into the twelve-song tracklist armed with an ultimately more electrocuted synth, to form the first of two seven-minuters.</p>
<p>Much like that 2am comedown feeling, ‘Second Sun’ arrives to change all of that. With its classical sections being so perfectly executed, and not a vocal throughout, the track is pure, heavenly bliss. But guess what — it’s not going to stay like that. ‘Surface’ (featuring Hundred Waters’ Nicole Miglis) restores a euphoric element to proceedings, while momentarily disguising the producer behind the track. Followed by the hypnotic ‘Bambro Koyo Ganda’, which features the Moroccan-hailing, New York-based gnawa band Innov Gnawa.</p>
<p>But there’s momentary good news when the second round of seven-minuters reveals itself as that very well acknowledged feature with Nick Murphy, also known as Chet Faker. Soothing vocals and an off-kilter trip-hop blueprint create what is a classic Bonobo-Faker track — something true fans of the two could only have dreamt up. ‘7th Sevens’ presents acoustic patches and complete musical breakdowns aplenty, putting you on edge despite the overall calmness of the track.</p>
<p>Jazz-heavy, experimental but rooted in beats, ‘Migration’ plays with your emotions in a way that befits a post-break up period — and is yet another fine offering from the Ninja Tune mainstay.</p>
